Rogers Publishing to use the Audit Bureau of Circulations for each of its audited magazines


    TORONTO, April 28 /CNW/ - Rogers Publishing Limited today announced that
it will consolidate the auditing of magazine circulation with the Audit Bureau
of Circulations (ABC). Previously, 26 Rogers magazines were audited by ABC.
This change will result in a shift of another 26 publications away from BPA
Worldwide for a total of 52 magazines that will be audited by ABC.
    "Our discussions with members of the Canadian Media Directors' Council
and others in the advertising community have revealed a desire for consistent
rules and comparability of circulation information. As a Canadian publishing
leader, we feel it's important to respond to that need," said Brian Segal, CEO
of Rogers Publishing. "We thank BPA Worldwide for the professional work they
have done for us over the years."
    Among the magazines to move from BPA Worldwide to ABC are seven in
Rogers' Consumer Publishing Group and 19 in its Business & Professional
Publishing Group. The presidents of both BPA Worldwide and ABC have committed
to an orderly transition that will ensure that the needs of the advertising
community continue to be met seamlessly.
    Among the publications moving to ABC are Baby & Toddler, Cosmetics, Mère
Nouvelle, Mon Enfant, Newborn, Pregnancy & Birth, Ontario Out of Doors,
Canadian Printer, CARD, Canadian Contractor, Canadian Grocer, Canadian
Insurance, Canadian Metalworking, Canadian Packaging, Coatings, Design
